assistive devices using the electroencephalogram (EEG) or other brain signals. The
practicality of a BCI has been possible due to advances in cognitive neuroscience,
brain-imaging, and human-computer interfaces. Two major challenges remain in
making BCI for assistive robotics practical for day-to-day use: the inherent lower
bandwidth, and how to best handle unknown embedded noise within the raw
EEG.
Brain-Computer Interfacing for Assistive Robotics is the first comprehensive
book covering both the theoretical and practical aspects of BCI for real-time
assistive robotive application. It covers the fundamental biological aspects of EEG
before introducing and critically reviewing the various components of a typical
BCI system. It details the fundamental issues related to non-stationary EEG signal
processing (filtering) and the need for an alternative approach. Additionally,
the book also discusses techniques for overcoming lower bandwidth of BCIs by
designing novel use-centric graphical user interfaces. A detailed investigation
into these approaches is discussed along with real-time practical experiments and
author-provided video demonstration links hosted via a companion website.
Key features:
• An innovative reference on the components of the BCI system and its utility in
computational neuroscience and real-time assistive robotics
• Written for researchers, students, and computational neuroscientists,
provides a novel guide to the fundamentals of quantum mechanics for
BCI and the Schrodinger Wave equation in designing, understanding, and
implementing the Recurrent Quantum Neural Network (RQNN)
• Full-color text detailing the fundamental issues related with signal processing
and the need for alternative approaches
• Overview of intelligent adaptive user interface (iAUI) within the complete BCI
system, and details the practical implementation of the RQNN and the iAUI in
MATLAB/Simulink and Visual Basic for real-time robot control through video
links of recorded live robot control by the user’s imagination
